New & Noteworthy Midlife Skincare From Colleen Rothschild 

New & Noteworthy Midlife Skincare From Colleen Rothschild 

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope your weekend is going well and you’re having a great weekend. It’s Sunny and beautiful here in Utah, and I have to say we’ve been enjoying it. We’ve been having dinner on the deck the last three nights, and all the trees are starting to bloom beautiful blossoms.

Speaking of trees, we started our Saturday morning off by having two beautiful trees removed from our yard, one being a stunning cherry tree. Although attractive, unfortunately, they were too close to our home and caused some damage, so it was necessary to have them cut down and removed. Everything went smoothly, and the tree service did a fantastic job. Meanwhile, Ben is redoing our decks; new front and back decks are also happening this Spring. It’s great to get things checked off your Spring cleaning checklist. Do you have Spring projects happening?

Saturday is the day I try to do a little self-care. With everything happening outside, I took this time to try Colleen Rothschild’s new skincare line, which targets a Few Midlife Skin Issues: blemish-prone, sensitive, and reactive skin.

I love how it left my skin feeling. I also used the overnight treatment for extra moisturizer, as I try not to wear makeup on Saturday. Having one day a week to let your skin breathe is always a good idea. I also did a hair mask HERE, gave myself a self-tan (I use Loving Tan ), and derma-planed my face. HERE

Midlife Skincare Routine: From Day To Night And A Self-Care Day

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope your week is going well. We’re enjoying pool time and soaking up pretty weather on Spring break. How about you? It’s been a while since I’ve shared on the blog what products I’ve been using lately and how I use them in Midlife as far as a Skincare Routine, from what I use for the day versus what I use at night and for a self-care day. I am also sharing all my discount codes as well.

Midlife Skincare Routine: From Day To Night And A Self-Care Day

 

Midlife Skincare Routine: From Day To Night And A Self-Care Day

Self-care day 

A weekly Self-care day for your skin is highly recommended:) It’s just a little extra attention your skin deserves. I tend to do this on Saturdays, but you can squeeze in an extra hour or two for some me time whenever it works in your schedule. If that means only once a month, make sure you do that for yourself.

Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round- Up #7

Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round-Up #7

Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round- Up #7

Hello Pretty ladies, 

We are all most to the end of May, Schools out in Utah, and were headed into Memorial Weekend end, the kick-off to Summer. I look forward to Bbq season, longer days, spending time in the yard, and pool and lake days! How about you? 

Memorial Weekend means more than significant sales. However, that’s a fun way to spend part of your weekend. Remembering all those who have and are serving this beautiful country is essential. Our freedoms aren’t free, and those who have given so much and families that have made sacrifices must be remembered and thanked. So fly those flags high and remember why we celebrate and have a three-day weekend. 

Thank you to all those who serve and have served this country. God bless you and your families. 

If you like a more personal and closer connection and a “what you could have missed,” you might like my . You can sign up HERE. I send it out every Sunday.

Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round-Up #5

Hello pretty ladies, May is here, which means graduations, Mother’s Day, and the Bridal season is fast approaching with Summer around the corner. Last weekend we celebrated Hayden & Tyler graduating from Weber State. We are proud of them and enjoyed spending time with family and friends all week.

 I hope you have been enjoying Friday round-ups, as it’s been fun for me to share everything and brain dump! Plus, let you know what’s happening and share ideas for upcoming events. This week I am sharing a couple of Mother’s Day Gift ideas, some beauty and fashion favorites I am loving right now and wearing on repeat, and some entertainment you might like.

If you like a more personal and closer connection and a “what you could have missed,” you might like my Newsletter. You can sign up for the Newsletter . I send it out every Sunday.

| A couple of things I’ve loved lately |

I purchased the Kut from the Kloth Meg cropped denim jeans last year and loved them; I was happy they brought them back this year and in an off-white. I’ve been wearing them again on repeat. Perfect Spring/Summer denim. Superb fit, comfortable, good quality, and affordable. 

Everyone needs a great white button-up, and linen is perfect for this time of year. I’ve been wearing this Chico’s white button-up on repeat. Perfect with trousers, jeans, or shorts thrown over a bathing suit, and cute over a tank dress.

| Treat Yourself |

You deserve a little treat, and treating yourself is okay.  Treating yourself doesn’t mean it has to be expensive. It could be as simple as a little something you wanted at Target to something you’ve wanted for years. I am reminding you it’s okay to do something for yourself.

Last Friday’s round-up, I told you about some Gucci sandals I had been wanting and waiting for my size for over a year. They finally arrived, and I was so excited. (photo above) I shared them on Instagram. Even though this was a splurge, I permitted myself, and sometimes we must treat ourselves.

I bet you won’t believe me!! Guess where I found I bet you won’t believe me!!

Guess where I found these Darling Lemon Plates?🍋

Would you believe the Dollar Store for $1.50 each…

They had matching dinner plates, bowls and mugs… But Honestly…

A Great TIP is just to buy the Salad plates… Having an assortment of Themed or decorative salad plates can really change up your regular china for the seasons..

It’s an affordable tip that goes a long way, if you have A solid color china.

Plus a salad plate could also be used for a bread or dessert plate. 

I also like a little salad plate to serve a little breakfast muffin, bagel or croissant on…. 

You know I am a big advocate of romanticizing your everyday life and have a mixture of seasonal, yet affordable dishes can do just that…Don’t save your good china for “that” special occasion…. Use it daily❤️

Head to stories to see my inspiration for this weeks table, the floral arrangements I created for this week’s Flower arrangements for our home & Sunday dinner table scape… and what’s going to be on the menu for Sundays dinner 🍋

Drop it like it’s HOT…. Balancing Menopause and m Drop it like it’s HOT….

Balancing Menopause and midlife can be tricky✔️

From weight gain, mood swings, sleepless nights, dry skin and lady parts, hair loss, eyesight issues, bone loss to personal summers (hot flashes)….. 

Boy hitting 40-50-60’s sounds fun 😅🤣 Actually, it really isn’t that bad, and life is what you make of it, Plus  getting old is a privilege….

In today’s time, we’re lucky because menopause is a Topic WE TALK about NOW, and we have more information and resources to HELP us, unlike our mothers.

Not everyone has every symptom nor do they experience every symptom. 

This is a topic I’ve shared a lot about over on my blog and in future more on my substack (join for free in my bio) 

Below ⬇️ are a few things I’ve found very helpful from my journey over the last 10 years to now, starting at about 44 years old.

-A Homeopathic Hormone replacement specialist- I went at 44 when I gained 12-15 pounds for no reason, had hair loss and wasn’t feeling like myself and went on Bio- identical hormone replacement for about 4 years and the weight feel off and I started to feel like myself again. I stopped I. 2020 due to not being able to get to doctors.. 

-Start a good clean supplement program (not a Doctor) but here’s what helped me.
Magnesium- zinc- Vitamin D3- vitamin K 
-a good women’s multivitamin - 
B-12 shots- Collagen- Colostrum- bone marrow- probiotic, a cranberry supplement and - creatine - NAD- primrose (I have a few others I take as well) full list is on blog 

- Doubled my water intake - (140-160 oz a day) added Fiber- chia seeds- pinch of salt to it … (I do 1/2 teaspoon baking soda twice a week) 

-Daily walks and I added a weighted vest about 4 years ago 

-A cup of warm lemon water to start the day 

- I shoot  for 100 grams of protein daily (I don’t always get this) I just try to get close

-Scalp treatments - Rosemary oil and rosemary supplements 

- Coolnight pjs and cooling sheets  I don’t get or experience hot flashes, but sleeping cooler help me sleep better❤️

- cleansing oil & after Shower oil help with dry skin

-Red light therapy mask helps facial skin and neck

- Derma-planing face helps skin texture and for products to sink in
